Hey guys so I am wanting to cover my dash that I just fiberglassed a dashpod and a phone into. I ordered my carbon fiber (twill 5.7oz 3k) and I got my west systems epoxy/hardener and some resin pigments black. I've watched quite a bit of videos so I have a good idea on what to do, I only have two questions. First  where should I start to wrap this dash? Should I work from the left side and work my way to the right, or work from the back to the front or start in the center and wrap it to each side. If you  know what I mean?  Just hoping to get a better idea on where to start wrapping this thing.  Next question, I know everyone says to wait untill the first layer is tacky before placing the carbon, but I watched a video where buddy said to do the first layer let it cure fully, sand it and put a second coat. and then place the carbon on while its wet. he said it gives you more room for error, as you can easily remove the carbon withought disturbing the weave since its not sticky? Does this sound right to you? Hoping for any advice I can get! 

Is it bad to add another layer of resin to a fully cured resin layer? Or should I sand the first coat? Im just scared of sanding into the carbon fiber

If fully cured it's better to give it a soft sanding, say 400grid wet and you will see if you go through the fibers or not. Most important thing is that low spots are ok, it's just that you need more coats. Don't try to go through as much low spots as possible when you are sanding, but you need to know where to stop...then you can add more layers wet on dry/tacky thats the chemical bond...if fully cured you will need to sand in between to get a mechanical bond
